chevy cobalt 37 mpg - Toyota Yaris Forums

Woody_Woodchuck · 03-11-2009, 08:29 AM

Before I decided on a Yaris I wondered about the real life mpg’s folks were getting versus the EPA estimates. In my internet investigations the Yaris’ real life mpg’s beat all the other smaller economy class vehicles. And it beat the EPA estimates more than the other new vehicles like the Aveo, Smart and Cobalt.

Was it that folks who bought them tried harder to get better mileage or was it just more capable of better mileage? I do not have the answer but I know I try to get better than EPA and can do it easily. Breaking 50 mpg on a tank is a bit harder for me. As pointed out just look around at others who are posting their mileage and what they are actually reporting. Maybe fewer Aveo, Smart and Cobalt folks try to get the best they can and more Yaris drivers are?
